    I download some songs off YouTube, and I presume that counts as pirating. I only do that if the artist behind it is already very rich and successful. I don't do it often either, only a maximum of a couple of songs a week. But I know and accept that is a weak moral argument. I honestly think pirating music is morally indefensible and I know that makes me a hypocrite. Even knowing that, I still do it sometimes :L

      It isn't really piracy, but it breaks the YouTube ToS.

      Downloading from Youtube isn't illegal as far as I remember so long you keep it as a private copy... Well at least concerning German law... I don't really know if it's that different in the US etc.

        The people sharing the content on Youtube do not usually own the rights to it. That's also why Youtube doesn't offer downloading as a service for all content.

        So I would say that it is generally illegal (with some exceptions).
